Let's divide 878473 by 41
Let's see how many times 41 fits into 878473.

Advancing to step 1:
41 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 41

Moving on to step 2:
The number 41 fits into 87 2 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 82 from 87 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 58 / 41

Step 3:
When dividing 58 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 41 from 58, we get 17.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 174 / 41

Going ahead to step 4:
41 goes into 174 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 214.0
Subtracting 164 from 174 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 41

Advancing to step 5:
107 divided by 41 is 2 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2142.0
If we subtract 82 from 107, we get 25.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 253 / 41

On to step 6:
41 goes into 253 6 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21426.0
Deduct 246 from 253 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21426.1
If we take 41 away from 70, we end up with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
41 can be fit into 290 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21426.17
If we take 287 away from 290, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 30 by 41, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21426.17
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 41, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21426.1707
Subtracting 287 from 300 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
41 can be fit into 130 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21426.17073
Deduct 123 from 130 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 70 by 41, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21426.170731
Subtracting 41 from 70 leaves us with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
41 goes into 290 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21426.1707317
If we take 287 away from 290, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
41 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21426.1707317
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21426.1707317 with a remaining 3e-08.
